- Totem Bight State Historical Park - Nestled in a lush, temperate rainforest, Totem Bight State Historical Park is rich in Native history and art, offering stunning beaches with waterfront views and a variety of indigenous plants and animals.

- Herring Cove - At Herring Cove, visitors can explore fishing grounds, witness salmon swimming upstream, and often see eagles, black bears, and seals when in season. It is situated 8 miles south.
- Ketchikan Rainbird Trail - This trail provides breathtaking views of downtown Ketchikan, the Tongass Narrows, and the surrounding islands.
- Creek Street - Creek Street is a historic boardwalk set on pilings along Ketchikan Creek in Ketchikan, Alaska. Once a Red Light District where both men and salmon swam upstream to spawn, it is now a charming area to tour Dolly’s House museum, view totem poles, shop at local stores and galleries, and enjoy local art and culture. During summer, thousands of salmon gather to spawn upstream, with seals and otters nearby and eagles perched in the trees.
- Ketchikan - Ketchikan Creek was a summer fish camp for Tlingit natives long before the town was founded by Mike Martin in 1885. Sent by an Oregon canning company to evaluate prospects, he established the saltery Clark & Martin and a general store with George Clark, a Nova Scotia native and former cannery foreman. Ketchikan earned the nickname “Alaska’s first city” due to its strategic location at the southern tip of the Inside Passage, linking the Gulf of Alaska to Puget Sound. In 1905, a mission house was built, later becoming the Yates Memorial Hospital in 1909. In 2020, the National Trust for Historic Preservation recognized the former hospital as one of America’s most endangered historic places.
- Potlatch Totem Park - Visitors can explore five Native Alaskan clan houses and experience what life was like 200 years ago. The interiors of the clan houses are as impressive as the exteriors. The park features magnificent totem poles, including an extraordinary 42-foot tall pole. Knowledgeable staff share the fascinating legends behind the poles and answer questions. The park also boasts a collection of rare antique vehicles in the Antique Car Museum, including a 1934 Ford Coupe and a 1924 Stanley Steamer, among many other classic cars to admire.
